No decision made yet on fate of 47th Dexter-Ann Arbor Run

The 47th edition of the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run appears to still be scheduled to go on as planned – for now.

Though many of the state’s most prestigious races have either canceled or postponed their events due to the spread of the coronavirus, the Dexter-Ann Arbor run hasn’t made a decision on the fate of its race just yet.

“The questions are beginning to come in, however still too early for any decisions,” said event director Clint McCormick in an email to MLive Thursday afternoon. “We continue to work with our team of doctors from UM (University of Michigan) and the local health department and will update any changes on our website.”

The event’s website states that the race remains intact for its May 31 date and that the situation is being closely monitored. The event’s organizers also extended the deadline for the current price point to participate in the race from March 16 to April 3. An increase to participate is scheduled for April 4.

The event, which includes a half marathon, a 5K and 10K run, has been one of the top events around the state since 1974, but that could be in jeopardy.
